Enterasys Wins Prestigious Customer Service Award
Andover, Mass., Mar 02, 2010
Networking and Security Company Recognized for Customer Focus and Technology Automation with 2010 CRM Magazine Elite Award
Andover, Mass. – March 2, 2010 – Enterasys, the network infrastructure and security division of Siemens Enterprise Communications, today announced that its Global Technical Services organization has been named a winner of a 2010 CRM Elite Award in the Workforce Optimization Suite category. Each year, CRM magazine honors the vendors, consultants, and end-user companies that focus on customer relationships and the customer experience through the sophisticated integration of people, processes, and technologies.
“Enterasys is proud to be recognized as a customer relationship management leader,” said Vala Afshar, vice president of Global Technical Services for Enterasys. “Our innovative use of CRM technologies has helped us extend our industry-leading customer support and achieve an overall customer satisfaction rate of 97 percent and a first-person resolution rate of 94 percent, each of which significantly exceeds industry averages.”
Enterasys captured the “Outstanding Workforce Optimization Suite” category based on achievements its Global Technical Assistance Center (GTAC) made through Salesforce CRM and Service Cloud 2 applications, including the streamlining of critical global sales and customer data in multiple languages and currencies. Enterasys also customized the chosen cloud applications to provide customers and partners with enhanced service visibility via direct access to on-demand dashboards of their technical support contact history. By combining the use of leading software technology with long-tenured support staff and an in-sourced support model, Enterasys has become a favorite technology vendor of customers and partners alike.
“While we are very satisfied with the performance of Enterasys solutions, we are even more pleased with the personalized, high-touch service and support we’ve consistently received from the Enterasys team,” said John Iraci, Vice President of Enterprise Infrastructure at DJO. “Ultimately, that was what won and continues to keep our business. Not only do we save between 20 and 25 percent on total cost of ownership over other leading vendors, but we also have the security of knowing that any time we pick up the phone with a question or a concern, Enterasys will do whatever it takes to answer our questions or solve any problem—even those caused by other vendors’ equipment.”
